    B.

    9th group element

    C.

    only 18th group

    D.

    only 8th group element

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is: (A) between 2nd to 13(3-12)

    Explanation:

    • D-block elements are also called transition elements.

    • They are located in periodic table groups 3 to 12, which lie between s-block (groups 1–2) and p-block (groups 13–18).

    • Their distinguishing feature is the filling of d-orbitals.

    • They exhibit typical metallic properties, variable oxidation states, and form colored compounds.

    Information Booster:

    • D-block elements include elements like Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn.

    • They are good conductors of heat and electricity.

    • They often form complexes and alloys.

    • D-block elements are mostly hard and have high melting points.

    • They are widely used in industries, electronics, and catalysis.

    Additional Knowledge:

    • Option B, C, D are incorrect because d-block elements are not limited to any single group; they span 10 groups (3–12).

    • Group 18 contains noble gases (p-block).

    • Group 8 alone contains only Fe, Ru, Os.
